Description
This grant, funded by the Theoni Pappas Fund through the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), is designed to support the development and implementation of high school (grades 9–12) lessons or materials that engage students in mathematical modeling and foster interdisciplinary connections. Projects may include e-booklets, videos, or physical models that help students mathematize real-world problems and develop solutions, emphasizing the links between mathematics and other disciplines or contemporary discoveries. Proposals must include a clear development and evaluation plan, timeline, and anticipated impact on student learning, with a focus on how mathematical modeling connects mathematics to the broader world.
